Question

missed this? read section 6.2 (page).
the western europe record for highest recorded barometric pressure is 30.95 in hg, set in 1932 in uccle, belgium.
correct
to solve the problem, begin with 30.95 inhg, convert the pressure measured in inhg to atm and then atm to mmhg using the appropriate conversion factors. the equalities between the units are
1 atm = 29.92 inhg
1 atm = 760 mmhg
finally, set up the expression that converts inhg to mmhg
30.95 inhg × \frac{1 atm}{29.92 inhg} × \frac{700 mmhg}{1 atm} = 786.1 mmhg
part b
convert this pressure to atm.
express your answer in atmospheres to four significant figures.
incorrect; try again
the entered value would have units of psi. note that 1 atm is equal to 14.7 psi. use this information to create the conversion factor between psi and atm.

Explanation:

Step1: Set up the conversion factor

We know that \(1\space atm = 29.92\space inHg\). To convert \(30.95\space inHg\) to \(atm\), we use the formula \(P(atm)=P(inHg)\times\frac{1\space atm}{29.92\space inHg}\)

Step2: Substitute the value

Substitute \(P = 30.95\space inHg\) into the formula: \(P(atm)=30.95\times\frac{1}{29.92}\)

Step3: Calculate the result

\(P(atm)=\frac{30.95}{29.92}\approx1.034\)

Answer:

\(1.034\space atm\)
